This pipe 64 communicates with t-he water jacket 23 by means of openings 7 e and with the steam chest by one or more openings 68 through one of which the lever arm 60 passes, as heretofore described. rl`his pipe 64 is surrounded where it passes throiwh the steam chest by a spacing sleeve 75, and where it passes through the water jacket by a similar sleeve 76. A pipe member 77 is threaded into the lower extremity of the pipe 6-1, and passes downwardly through the combustion chamber 27 and through an opening formed in the pan 28, its lower protruding extremity being connected, as shown at 7 8 with an elbow 79 which is' connected by Vmeans of a coupling 80, with a conduit 81, whose opposite extremity is in Communication with the pump 53.

From this it will be understood, that after the generator is started, steam will pass from the chest 14 though the nipple 55 and the pipe 511 to the pump 58 `and operate the the plated() and Inlunicaton with. the atln@SphereA being secured by means of a nut 71 screwed acty upon the float67 tor'aise the latter,

The fuel may also be taken from any desired source, its supply to the combustion chamber of the generator being automatically controlled through the medium of the valve 35, as heretofore described. The steam for operating the pump will be taken from the generator, as heretofore explained, its supply to the pump being automatically controlled through the medium of the float and needle valve construction set forth. rlhe steam generated will be taken from the steam chest through an outlet 7 3 from which it may be conducted to the engine (not shown) with which the generator is employed.

1n the event that repairs are necessary, the top and bottom plates 10 and 19 may be readily detached by removing the nuts applied to their outer extremities. It will, of course, be necessary to detach the other mechanism, which is located outside Of these plates, all of which, however, is readily removable and replaceable, as will be readily understood from inspection of the drawing.
